History: I brought the car about a year ago, from what I can tell it has had two owners before me, one living in the country. It was painted a metallic gun metal grey, and this year I will be looking at cutting the rust out, as well as painting it back to its original colour.

I puchased this Gold nugget 1275 LS, a few months ago,I've had the head recoed, front and rear brakes done and use it every day,a 70 km retun trip to work. 1) Tony Styles 2) 9 / 78 3) XFAD18Y / 104051 4) 12H902UH000727 5) I bought it off a guy in Launceston, who had fixed it up for his teenage kids to use , but then had to sell it because his wife thought a Rav 4,would be safer for them., I'd love to put a picture up but don't know how.

its amazing how many of the later model minis have succumbed to tin worm as the material used on lae model minis was a diferent guage and prone for rusting around the back windows and the rear of the roof.
Good to see a few LS's around as i must admit im not a clubman fan but this and the GT really do appeal to me.
